Summer Bonfire with Levi’s

Location: Encinitas, CA

Ahhh yes… Back to school time. My favorite time of year. It is a beautiful time in Southern California: the weather becomes perfect, holiday traffic dies down, the water is extra warm from basking in the hot sun all season, and the beaches are empty. Back to school for us means late night family bonfires on empty beaches. Perfection!

I wore my go-to super soft comfy Levi’s tee, a basic I couldn’t live without and my Levi’s Boyfriend Trucker Jacket. Ezra’s teeny tiny Levi’s gave me all the heart eyes and I have to mention, he actually LOVED his mini jeans “like daddy’s”. I have tried having him wear other jeans before, but he hated the stiffness of them and I felt bad making him uncomfortable! So I’ve let the jeans thing go… until these. They are super soft and stretchy, he doesn’t fight me while getting dressed, and they can keep up with all of his messy play without getting in the way. WIN! (They’ve also got this “soil release” technology that fights against tough stains and dirt… could they get any better?? I don’t think so.)

We got there early, in time to watch the sun go down, laid out all our blankets for a “comfy cozy” set-up and played in the sand with Ez while the sun set. And it’s a funny thing… every sunset in San Diego gets a standing ovation. People gather to watch the day end, everything stops and turns quiet. Then, as the sun goes beyond the horizon, people clap and go wild. And I guess for good reason… another day done, another to come tomorrow, it’s a beautiful thing worth cheering for.

Happy Back to Schooling, friends… whatever that may mean to you!
